It is widely accepted that (1) the natural or folded state of proteins is a global energy minimum, and (2) in most cases proteins fold to a unique state determined by their amino acid sequence. The H-P (hydrophobic-hydrophilic) model is a…
In this paper we consider the semi-linear wave equation: $u_{tt}-\Delta u=u_t|u_t|^{p-1}$ in $\mathbb{R}^N$ where $1<p\leq 1+\frac2{N-1}$ and $p<5$ if N=1, $p\neq 3$ if N=2. We give an energetic criteria and optimal lower bound for blowing…
